Bruges Countryside Walking Tour
Bruges Countryside, Belgium
Why Walk Bruges Countryside
Beyond Bruges' medieval center, the surrounding Flemish countryside offers a different experience — flat landscapes crisscrossed by canals, small villages with Gothic churches, and the North Sea coast just 15 kilometers away. Damme, a tiny fortified village on the canal from Bruges, was a thriving medieval port. The coastal town of Knokke-Heist and the fishing village of Zeebrugge are easy day trips.
